Briskdal Glacier Hike & Lunch
Moderate Activity
Includes meal
Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
Take in the scenery as you pass the beautiful Hornidalvatnet, Europe's deepest lake, during the drive to Briksdal. Continue along the beautiful fjords past sky-scraping mountains and pause at Olden to photograph the emerald hues of Olden Lake.
Upon reaching Briksdal, set out on foot on a 45-minute picturesque hike on moderate terrain through the valley toward the immense Briksdal Glacier. Located in Jostedalsbreen National Park, it is part of the Jostedal Glacier Icefield, the largest glacier on the European mainland. The views of the glimmering ice flowing 4,000 feet down the mountainside are simply wonderful.
Returning to the picturesque Briksdal Inn, you'll enjoy a well-deserved hearty lunch before returning to the ship.
Schedule
Special Notes
Tour requires walking approximately 1.5 miles; the first part is quite steep. Terrain includes even and uneven surfaces, inclines, gravel, grass, and many steps. Wear sturdy non-skid walking or hiking shoes. Bring bottled water. Dress warmly in layers with gloves, a scarf, and a hat; outer layer should be windproof and waterproof. Bring a backpack to stow any layers you shed. Heed the warning signs near the glacier and do not venture beyond the safety barriers. The glacier is not visible from the lunch venue. The tour route passes through several tunnels; not suitable for guests with vertigo.
